RENTER DISGRACE: Homeowners heartbroken after homes trashed

WARWICK investors are having their hard-earned rental properties trashed by uncaring and disrespectful tenants, leaving them out of pocket and on occasion, with little option but to sell up and get out of the property market.

This week, news surfaced of yet another Warwick property wrecked and a number of Daily News readers revealed similar damage had been done to their properties.

A relative of the owners of the recently damaged property said they had gone to the house only to discover it had been left in a mess, with rubbish everywhere and holes in the walls and the tenants nowhere to be found.

"They left owing thousands in rent and probably a couple of thousand dollars to repair holes in walls, rubbish removal, lawns done, carpets cleaned etc," said the relative.

"The place is full of cockroaches.

"Considering it was only recently inspected and was in a good tidy order this is what they left when evicted due to non-payment of rent."
